Image copyright for Makka Sagaipova's photos

You indicated that Makka Sagaipova's photos you have uploaded are sourced to the http://www.amina.com website and that they are {{cc-by-sa-2.5}}. I have spent some time looking through the amina.com site and could not find any references that their pictures are released under the creative commons license. By default the copyright belongs to the Amina website and we cannot have these pictures. Can you point me out to their creative commons statement?

Alternatively, if you are the copyright holder of these pictures, can you remove the annoying Amina's watermark (and maybe provided higher-resolution pictures?) Thanks.

Regarding your dispute with Kuban kazak, I see a full can of worm over who held Grozny in 1987. I doubt we can attribute the place to non-existent at that time independent Ichkeria. Maybe just remove the flag and mentioning of both Ichkeria and Russia. Lets just say Grozny or Grozny, Soviet Union. She is not a freedom fighter or something and I guess she happily uses Russian passport. Thus, she would not probably object Alex Bakharev 04:35, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

In any case WP:POINT what the hell are you after? If you want to write propaganda that glorifies terrorists and murderers than you might as well go to KavkazCenter straight. Wikipedia is a neutral and international encyclopedia. Internationally Russian territorial integrity is recognised! I personally took part in venging the genocide that these "freedom fighters" unleashed upon my Terek Cossack brothers in 1990-1994 (250 thousand people, the whole Russian minority of Chechen-Ingush ASSR!) So why don't you follow WP:NPOV and stop the "fascism"...btw WP:NPA...--Kuban Cossack 11:07, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Now then do you want to engage in a civilised discussion or in a trade of insults? I personally do not want the latter. However one must follow wikipolicies of neturality and civility, and if you do not want to be blocked I strongly advise you to stop. Lastly there is no such thing as "the sole author" In fact wrt yout comment, it clearly says:If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly or redistributed by others, do not submit it At the very bottom of your edit window...--Kuban Cossack 11:26, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

NO my freind that is not how its going to work. There is a detailed list of mediations and RFcs in case of content dispute, but that is not what you are doing, you are edit warring and Trolling. Wikipedia is not a propaganda machine, and if you intend to use it as such then you might as well leave, because I will notify the admin. Good contributions are always welcome but you must stay neutral. Neutral means what respected sources say not filthy mouths like KavkazCenter. Does Reuters or BBC ever call Chechen insurgents "Freedom fighters" or "liberation fighters"? No it calls them insurgents! And to those like Basayev - Terrorists, because that is what they are. My final word of advice, have an overthink of why are you on wikipedia. Are you here to transform it into a political rant or are you to write good and neutral articles. So there is no talk of accepting your re-edits. Because they are not edits, they are reverts of Vandalism, Original Research and POV.

Lastly there is a WP:SOAP so please don't start with this I cannot think of a single Chechen that would agree to the occupation of their homeland by Russian imperialism, there are thousands of public forums on the net where you can discuss these dreams and fairy tales, but not on wikipedia. BTW for your information in the 2004 Presidential Election Putin recieved how many votes from Chechnya? That's right 91%! ;)--Kuban Cossack 23:53, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Have it your way, I have contacted the admin...--Kuban Cossack 12:40, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Doku Umarov

I'm going to block you and Kuban Kazak for 3RR if you persist in your revert war. Work it out on the talk page.—Perceval 03:16, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Well Samian perhaps you would like to take your time to explain your issues. First of all with respect to WP:NPOV why do you insist on labelling present Chechen politicians are pro-Kremlin and pro-Russian whilst removing separatist from separatists' articles? I should stress that Chechnya is de jure part of Russia, and not only de facto, but INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNISED by the UN and other bodies as part of Russia, at the same time NOBODY recognised and recognises the government of Ichkeria.

Second point, wrt WP:POINT what is your problem with the term insurgent and militant and why do you insist on replacing them with rebel and fighter? First of all fighter is a very abstract term, a sportsman is called a fighter (e.g. box, karate etc). Rebel is from the word Rebellion. Is there are rebellion in Chechnya when every year the fighting becomes less and less sporadic. Now you whether or not those boyeviki (I'll just use the Russian term to avoid confusion) have or do not have popular support from ordinary Chechens is unknown and irrelevant. So far there have been no opinion polls so really anything we come up with is WP:NOR. I do know that every week thousands of boyeviks surrender and under amnesty return to normal life... I also know from my recent visit there that ALL of the people I have seen there are tired of war, tired of politics, and the only thing on their mind is to rebuild their lives and feed themselves and their children. Now that is an opinion, but the fact that every year more and more Chechens are dropping arms and aiding the reconstruction of their republic is a concrete fact. So the term rebel is unsuitable because the key point for being a rebel is to have sympathy from those who you represent. Now it is true that there are still people who back the boyeviki, but it is also true that there are people who fight against them. So Kadyrovtsy, are also rebels against the Ichkerian separatists... Therefore the term Chechen rebels is now misleading and also increasingly archaic. Last is the scale of warfare, a rebellion would have to be something that is noticeable and visible, for example the Viet Cong or South Osetia. Insurgency on the other hand is exactly what the present boyeviki are. They have no visible base, they operate as individual groups rather than a full army, and they also mount terrorist raids. Do you see the term Iraqi Rebels wrt the present situation in Iraq, no they are insurgents. Do you ever hear of Irish rebels or Kashmiri rebels or the present Afghan rebels? Even the controversial Ukrainian Insurgent Army was never referred to as rebels. My advice is you drop the double standards from Chechnya. --Kuban Cossack 16:15, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Kuban kazak. First of all, let me say that as a newspaper editor, I have some idea as to the objectivity in an article. Sometimes, I base my citations off of international news sources, and if you want, I will be happy to add sources for basically any of the claims I make on Wikipedia as well.

Now, with that said, let me address the term "separatist" --- let me say that I am in agreement that the term "separatist" is appropriate for the Chechen rebels. However, I would not agree with the statement that the term "rebel" has become archaic or irrelevant: in fact, ABC News, which most would agree is a relatively-objective international news source, uses the term "separatist rebels" in this article [1], which was published only last week. Even FOX News, with its perceived right-wing bias here in the U.S., has used the term "separatist rebels" [2].

As for the term "insurgent", I have tried multiple variations of the search terms "Chechen"+"insurgent" and "Chechnya"+"insurgent" on news websites such as CBSNews.com, english.aljazeera.net, and washingtonpost.com, and I got no results. However, if you were to type in something like "Chechnya rebels", you would get plenty of results on any of these sites. So it seems that the usage of the term "rebel" far exceeds the term "insurgent" in the mainstream media, even to this day. Undoubtedly, we have very different opinions on the scale and nature of the fighting in Chechnya, which is perfectly acceptable with me, but I base my selection of words partly on that of the mainstream media, and I do not see why the term "rebel" would be inaccurate.

You are correct in saying that the people fighting in Iraq are called "insurgents" and "militants" by the mainstream media, and rightfully so. You might have known this already, but there is debate even today of the meaning of the term 'insurgent' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insurgent). Nevertheless, I will use the historical definition of "insurgent" given on that page, as "an internal struggle against a standing, established government". So would you then consider both Kadyrovs and the Kadyrovsky insurgents against the Government of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria? Anyways, despite what you may think, I have always defined Basayev, Khattab, and the folks responsible for the Beslan School Siege/Moscow Theater Siege to be all terrorists - I doubt you can give me one instance where I have denied that these folks are terrorists, and they have defined themselves as such. As for Umarov and the separatist rebels who are responsible for the deaths of Russian troops, Kadyrovsky, and other pro-Russian security forces, I would not label them as terrorists since they are obviously shooting at armed men and not innocent civilians. Now I know that the Echo TV of the Russian media has gone out and called many different people "terrorists", including exiled tycoon Platon Elenin (a.k.a. Boris Berezovsky), which I find highly dubious.

Finally, as to the status of Chechnya today. You said "I do know that every week thousands of boyeviks surrender and under amnesty return to normal life", whereas even the Russian authorities have said themselves that 546 people have surrendered through the amnesty altogether, so I think the figures that you are claiming are a bit inflated. I'd have to disagree with your opinion as to the feelings of the Chechen people: Chechens are now the largest group seeking asylum in Europe, and in Poland alone 91% of asylum-seekers are Chechens, most of whom have fled to Eastern Europe over the past 2 years. The conditions under Kadyrov could hardly be called rosy [3], and the sole reason why many of the rebels who have surrendered have done so because their family members were held hostage by Kadyrovsky. The only reason why Kadyrovsky ranks are relatively full are because there quite simply are no other jobs in Chechnya other than security services. None of the Chechens I've spoken to said the situation was truly better in Chechnya currently.

Anyways, I hope I've clarified some things with you, and I hope you have a nice day. =)

--Samian 13:33, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Samian one thing is what you write in newspappers, another thing is what qualifies as an encyclopedic language. Encyclopedias have to be neutral and take into account all arguments, otherwise they lose their credibility. At this point, I suggest we agree on what we disagree on, and then I propose a mediation, because and RfC or third opinion is not going to get anywhere, although its also worth a try. Lets not speculate more than necessary. In the mean time, I am removing all refrences to "pro-Kremlin" and such per your comment. Lastly, for consistency on the talk, I have moved your comment here, I do not like discussions stringing on several pages, so please answer here...

Just in case you wanted to speculate, I go to Chechnya every year, as part of our Cossack host exercises. I speak to thousands of people there. Yes the situation is not better...but the last thing that people want is more conflict and suffering. Also wrt Kadyrovtsy, I think you will perfectly know that Chechnya is a clanal society...and what blood vengence means for those people...And I do agree that is THE stumbling block on why the rate of rebuilding is this slow...--Kuban Cossack 13:51, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Kuban kazak, I think your proposal is quite reasonable, and a mediation is fine with me. If you remove the "pro-Kremlin" references I will not oppose it. As I have mentioned previously, I don't have a fault with the term "separatist", but I think the term "separatist rebel" is best. I would prefer if we used either "separatist" or "rebel" to the term "insurgent", since the first two terms seem to be in far greater usage than the latter. No news source is perfectly objective, I agree, but the most-respected ones are relatively so. This one Wikipedia article, Magomet Yevloyev, I've had to change from "Chechnian" to "Chechen", since I really don't know any source that has ever used the word "Chechnian".

As for Chechnya, I can hardly imagine any people who would want conflict and bloodshed. Although I am obviously pro-Chechen independence, I see it as an unfortunate fact that conflict has now spread through the entire North Caucasus. Fighting happens daily in Ingushetia and Dagestan, which I believe should remain in Russia since their respective peoples have wanted to remain in the Federation, and as you go to Chechnya every year you know very well that the region is far more "radicalized" now than even a decade ago. So I believe that Russian forces re-entering Chechnya was a mistake in that roots are being planted for even greater violence throughout the North Caucasus, perhaps in the next generation. Nevertheless, I am sure that neither of us is as naive to believe that violence and separatism will be entirely gone. And I see Ramzan Kadyrov as part of the problem, not the solution. --Samian 11:48, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Ok here are some alternatives that I have no problems with the terms: "separtist militant", "guerilla" whilst Kardyrov's men would be paramilitaries...

A mistake? I left university to volunteer and fight in 1999. We Cossacks also have our pride and dignity. I fought to avenge what the Chechens did to thousands of Russians in 1990-94. Yes it was before the first Chechen War... Quarter of a million people were forced out of their homes Mind you, most of them living there since the 17th century- descendants of the once proud and glorious Terek Cossack host... And for those that stayed behind, how many were forced into slavery? How many tortured, raped and shot... True people like Gaidar, Grachyov, and Yeltsin are equally responsible as is Dudayev for the suffering of my fellow Russians, but in the end they were only catalysts, whilst this Chechen nationalism that oddly enough is not new, and tends to rise and fall anti-parrallel to how Russia is doing economically and politically, was what ultimately fueled it. I have no regrets whatsoever that I fought, that I killed. I am proud of LIBERATING our land from the vermin. True, Kadyrov is not my favourite person and is not a rolemodel for my children, but so far the Chechens are fighting themselves now, whilst we are slowly every year helping to return the Russian refugees to their homes and rebuild the Terek Cossack Host. As for ordinary Chechens then the choice is theirs. Many chose to leave the republic to Russia proper and for those that spent their time not engaged in seizing Russian markets and fighting with rival Azeris and Dagestanis over who controls this stand, but working hard and honestly...many have been very succesful...I wonder if the Ichkerian regime provided free world class higher education...--Kuban Cossack 02:16, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Your alternative suggestions sound fine to me.

I have a lot of respect for the Cossack heritage, so you shouldn't get me wrong. As for slavery during the wars and such, at least from the sources I've read, such as Politkovskaya's, the numbers were only a handful, consisting mostly of those kidnapped and held for ransom. It is indeed unfortunate what has happened to the Cossacks, no doubt, but I think that "avenging" these tragedies by torturing, raping, and kidnapping Chechens is hardly an honorable deed, as such violence will only beget more violence. Your Cossack ancestors, as I understand, were wrongly betrayed by the Allies at Lienz and displaced from their homes in Europe, even though many weren't even born in USSR, yet today they have been rehabilitated by Putin in Russian society. Has Russia apologized even once for rounding up Chechens into cattle cars at gunpoint and shipping them off to Kazakhstan? And how can Putin call himself the "liberator" of Chechnya when he bombs Groznyy to the ground? True, Mashkadov was an incompetent President who should have locked up that terrorist Basayev after Khasav-yurt and acted without impunity against the criminals; otherwise, we wouldn't be seeing Chechnya re-occupied by Moscow. In many respects, I would agree with you that the Ichkerian government has failed their people, but I believe that the only people who can be responsible for Chechnya's destiny are the Chechens and not the Russians. I do not see why Russia would want Chechnya so badly - if Puerto Rico were to vote for independence, we would not bomb them to the ground. Furthermore, you wouldn't say that the Ingushkis have the right to avenge their displaced against the Ossetians, would you?

You say "Russia for Russians" like the other Russkies, and I say, so be it. Chechnya for Chechens, then. You Russians have the largest nation on Earth, yet you will not permit others to live in a tiny republic? As for the Chechens in Russia proper, I agree with you - the choice is theirs. But if the Kremlin will remain complacent while racists forment violence in places like Kondopoga, and continue to marginalize Chechens by arbitrary arrests and "security checks", then that will be the path for further instability in Russia. --Samian 21:09, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 07:41, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Image:Maryam Tashaeva.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Maryam Tashaeva.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Conscious 17:00, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Dalalalay.ogg

Thanks for uploading Image:Dalalalay.ogg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 22:23, 5 July 2007 (UTC).

Image:RiseUpRussia.mid

I have tagged Image:RiseUpRussia.mid as {{orphaned fairuse}}. In order for the image to be kept at Wikipedia, it must be included in at least one article.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Israilov.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Israilov.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 04:28, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:IlyasAyubov.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy.

List of multiracial Americans

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article List of multiracial Americans, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of List of multiracial Americans.

AfD nomination of List of multiracial Americans

I have nominated List of multiracial Americans, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of multiracial Americans. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Update from Thomas?

In Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act you placed the following:

“ </status> <!-- Leave in the 'status' tags if you want the latest reported status from THOMAS automatically to replace the text between the tags once it becomes available. --> ”

I know the MediaWiki software gets cleverer by the day but this is a new one on me. Can you please point me to the details of how this feature works.

Featured article candidates

Hi! I'm a regular at FAC and was wondering why you keep nominating articles you have no connection with. You have done this just now with Peninsular War, in March with Dizzie Gillespie and in February with New Orleans, Louisiana. As you may know, FA instructions says that articles should only be nominated with the support of their principal contributors. You also nominated Albert Einstein at FAR. Is there an explanation for this please because I'm really curious to learn what lies behind it :)) All the best, --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 00:04, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the swift reply! It's kind of seriously frowned on because it can lead to a load of work either in all the admin stuff to withdraw the article or in reviewers time taking up pointing out problems that will never get fixed. All the best and happy editing. --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 00:10, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

What happened to 2008 Kashmir protests

Hi. As mentioned, I deleted the article because it lacked even a sekeltal basis for what would constitute the most basic stub. I encourage you to rewrite it; but with a bit of context, a more descriptive intorudction (what happened, when, where, etc.?), and maybe a source or two. The original first (& only) sentence is fine, but there has to be more than just that. So, again, feel free to recreate it with these points in mind (I might get to authoring it myself later, if it dosen't get restarted by you or anyone else again). Thanks in advance for your attention and cooperation. P.S. I took the liberty of hiding the enormous number of fairuse notices, at least for the duration of this discussion, because it makes you page... very jumbled and difficult to read, and I want to make sure you see this note easily. I hope that is okay with you. Regards, El_C 21:40, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Image:RezaShah.jpg

A tag has been placed on Image:RezaShah.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image showing no evidence that the copyright holder has released it under the license indicated by the uploader which has been tagged as such for more than 7 days, and it still lacks the necessary information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Image:RezaShah.jpg|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Aspects (talk) 16:39, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (File:Khozh-AkhmedDaughter.jpg)

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Khozh-AkhmedDaughter.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Aspects (talk) 16:43, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Motherland.ogg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Motherland.ogg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Disambiguation link notification for August 19

Hi. When you recently edited Kurdish nationalism, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Syrian uprising (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Arizona House elections

History is not 'outdated' and something to be deleted. Because of all the edits since your massive deletions, someone is going to have to carefully reconstruct the candidacy and primary election material you blithely deleted. That will not be me. I can't believe you think the purpose of an encyclopedia is to erase history and only present the current situation. I simply can't. 184.78.81.245 (talk) 23:41, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:AlbinaDigaeva.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:AlbinaDigaeva.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Cloudbound (talk) 22:40, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Wendy Davis Texas State Senate Ad.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Wendy Davis Texas State Senate Ad.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. ukexpat (talk) 20:02, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Marina Aidaeva

The article Marina Aidaeva has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

I couldn't establish notability. Unref blp.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
